ALBANY, N.Y. -- Gov. Andrew Cuomo is making stops in upstate New York's three largest cities to make announcements linked to his economic development program unveiled last week.

Cuomo starts out this morning at Buffalo's Roswell Park Cancer Institute before making afternoon stops in Rochester and Syracuse.

The governor announced last Wednesday that he would pool $1 billion in existing state economic development funds in various agencies for his jobs programs in which regions would submit comprehensive plans to attract and retain employers.

Cuomo says he's dedicating the next six months to creating jobs across New York, and he and his cabinet will be on the road as they promote their economic recovery plan.
